Deli-Style Tuna Salad Sandwich

Deli-Style Tuna Salad Sandwich

You should never mock a tuna, that would be rude.

But you can make a great mock tuna salad that tastes pretty close to the real thing. Even vegans can get nostalgic for a familiar childhood dish and I’m no exception. I recently found myself craving a tuna salad sandwich, so I crafted this imposter. After tasting it I realized, it wasn’t the tuna I was craving, it was the creamy, cool and crunchy salad, on warm toasty bread. Many people fear that they will have to give up their favorite foods when going vegan, but often what we miss isn’t the food itself, it’s the flavor and the feeling that are associated with the food. Give this a try and see if it doesn’t fit the bill when you’re wishing for that familiar favorite.
